Chapter 537: Chapter 407: Beat Me First, Then We’ll Talk

Shrek dares to be so arrogant, and indeed he has some reason to be.

On one hand, it’s his confidence in his own abilities; on the other hand... he also knows a few A-levels.

They’re remnants of Blood Moon, now afraid to fly its banner, but anyway, they were once part of a mercenary corps.

However, he has to admit now that there are still quite a few people he can’t afford to provoke.

As he wallowed in regret, time slowly ticked away.

As dusk approached, three hovercars raced in at speeds exceeding 200 km/h.

Hovercars are absolute privilege vehicles, expensive and consume a lot of energy, but this isn’t why they are rare.

Many wealthy individuals can afford and use them, but... lack the authority to drive them!

Because there are A-level Warriors who can fly, and flying Mecha, strict flight control measures are in place in major cities.

The Engineering College is equipped with several hovercars, but they won’t hit the road lightly—too ostentatious.

This time, to show their seriousness, they specially brought two of them, making up for earlier work mishaps.

As for the third hovercar... just by its front emblem, you know it’s from the Patrol Guard.

The Engineering College not only brought the B-level Di Yinyuan but also an A-level bigwig, the head of the Guard Team, Cheng Qingshan!

The Patrol Guard also brought an A-level, Buzibi, the third in command of Fengrao City’s headquarters.

The three cars stopped one after another, with those from the college heading straight for the four foreign instructors, while the Patrol Guards approached two others.

Buzibi’s face looked grim, and when he got close, he kicked Gautro, flipping him over.

”So you’ve succeeded, gained skills, and have actually learned to abuse power... The point is, you still can’t beat them!”

”Buzibi, what do you mean?” Cheng Qingshan’s face darkened at the words, ”Who are you hitting?”

”I’m reprimanding my own subordinate,” Buzibi replied with a sullen face, ”Did I invite your opinion?”

”Have you recovered from your wounds and forgotten the pain?” Cheng Qingshan glared, unafraid of Buzibi.

He’s not just the leader of the Guard Team but also the chief instructor of the college’s battle department!

Moreover, he has past achievements to back him up, ”Believe that I’ll beat you so badly you’ll enjoy limb regeneration again?”

Buzibi shot him a blank look, ”Attacking the deputy patrol captain, have you considered the consequences?”

”You scare me,” Cheng Qingshan sneered, ”Guess if I’d pay for killing you?”

Buzibi kept to silence; he knew, when this guy went crazy, he’d really be powerless.

Cheng Qingshan is from the academic faction, but he’s super powerful, legendary supreme level; no one can compete with him.

Because of his obsession with combat research, he missed the best opportunity for advancement to supreme.

But... he has a student who is already supreme! And another at A-level peak, highly likely to advance to supreme.

Just because of these two students, Buzibi dared not break with Cheng Qingshan; if the other really went wild, he’d be at his mercy.

But his patrol captain was detained, and ignoring it was impossible; it’s a matter involving the Patrol Guard’s reputation.

Many powerful law enforcement agencies have a habit, nicely called protectionism, bluntly called arrogance!

If our people are wrong, we’ll handle it ourselves; outsiders need not chatter!

The Patrol Guard operates similarly; behind closed doors, they may fight like dogs, but outside, they stand united.

However, he knew that today’s issue would be difficult to wrap up.

So he settled for the next best thing, ”I want to take these two attackers for investigation.”

”Don’t even think about it,” Cheng Qingshan’s eyes widened, ”When I contacted the Patrol Guard, my first demand was that the case be investigated by the college!”

Buzibi scowled, pointing to Gautro, ”Smiling Face is one of my Patrol Guards.”

Cheng Qingshan snorted disdainfully, ”Beat me first, then we’ll talk.”

Buzibi, speechless, thought internally that if he could beat him, would he need to waste so much breath?

So he decisively changed the subject, ”Then the attacked ones will come with me; I doubt the authenticity of the battle process!”

”Ha,” Cheng Qingshan scoffed once more, ”Beat me first, then we’ll talk.”

”That’s too much!” Buzibi glared, ”I know my subordinate’s capabilities, he could’ve been set up!”

”Tsk, beat me first, then we’ll talk.”

Buzibi’s face finally darkened, ”Cheng Qingshan, over some outsiders, are you determined to oppose the Patrol Guard?”

”Oppose... Is it hard to face reality?” Cheng Qingshan’s voice grew louder, ”Never seen anyone as shameless as you!”

”Your men attacked our college’s guests, and now you claim... I’m opposing you?”

”You’re cautious, honored my request, and didn’t directly lift the restriction; or believe I’d kill you with one strike?”

Of course, Buzibi knew of the other’s request and did indeed dare not cross the line, or it would’ve meant death!

But he still grumbled with a stern face, ”Your Guard Team has no authority...”

”We have authority!” Cheng Qingshan interrupted him without hesitation.

”For the better learning of the students, the Patrol Guard must not enter the college to investigate cases; the Guard Team can go to the city to investigate!”

Indeed, the college’s Guard Team operates like a combination of City Guard and Patrol Guard, possessing extensive enforcement rights within the campus.

But no guard team would abuse such power, as the Academy primarily focuses on academics, and extreme cases are remarkably rare.

As for cases in the Academy related to external issues, the guard team indeed has the authority to investigate in the city.

However, most of the time, the guard team is too lazy and would request assistance from the City Guard or Patrol Guard.

If the case is too sensitive, capturing someone personally is normal, as long as you notify relevant departments before or after.

But it’s absolutely impossible for the Patrol Guard to enter the Academy to investigate; it must be handled by the guardians.

Buzibi knows the insider information, and he was speechless for quite a while before finally saying, ”We request to listen in.”

Cheng Qingshan waved his hand and replied without hesitation, ”Beat me first... Then let the Cripple come and talk to me, you’re not qualified!”

The Cripple is the second-in-command of the city patrol, with a position above Buzibi.

This person is not actually crippled, but every time he’s injured in battle, it’s in the leg—at least nine times out of ten, hence the nickname.

Actually, the most important thing is: the Cripple is specifically responsible for internal investigations within the Patrol Guard, including but not limited to corruption and illegal activities.

Buzibi wiped his forehead helplessly, thinking if the Cripple really wanted to come, would I need to hurry over?

After all, just now the Patrol Guard couldn’t even contact the second-in-command, so they could only contact his assistant.

The assistant said the boss was busy with more important matters, and according to the hierarchy, the matter would be handed over to the third-in-command.

Buzibi was also intent on protecting his own people, anxiously boarding the hovercar when he suddenly remembered something halfway.

Which daughter-in-law of the Cripple... is a teacher at the Engineering College?

So this matter is quite troublesome, and now Buzibi could only settle for the second best.

”That bastard is still the Patrol Captain, it’s always fine if I send someone to take care of his daily needs, right?”

Cheng Qingshan sneered disdainfully, although he is hot-tempered, he is not ignorant of human affairs.

”Worried we might extract confessions through torture? Rest assured, our guard team is not as disgusting as your patrol guards, not even close to forcing false confessions!”

Does this make a damn difference? Buzibi rolled his eyes, ”Then I’ll send someone!”

This time he was actually cautious, leaving a female B-level to take care of Smiling Face.

Having a woman take care of a man’s daily needs, this seems inappropriate.

But the truth is, the woman’s brother was once a student of Cheng Qingshan and is now a teacher in another college.

The woman followed the hovercar back to the Engineering College, intentionally getting close to the A-level bigwig.

Cheng Qingshan thought about it and indeed remembered such a person, ”Your brother... disappointing!”

”He was injured during military service, treated too late,” the woman sighed helplessly, ”could only stay at C-level.”

Cheng Qingshan was speechless as well, Superpower Warriors enjoy many privileges, but they must also bear corresponding responsibilities.

Ordinary people violating military orders out of helplessness may not necessarily die, and in case of sufficient reasons, might even be exonerated.

But Superpower Warriors violating military orders have no chance for redemption—tarnishing the glory of the Awakened, there’s only death!

The Empire spends tremendous effort and resources to nurture Superpower Warriors, aiming to create an elite force that would rather die than retreat!

Anyway, the woman’s arrival still played a certain communicative role.

She even got hold of the combat footage on-site—with the tacit approval of Cheng Qingshan.

The footage is authoritative and credible; at the time, the wide-angle dashcams of the off-road vehicles were turned on—both vehicles were on.

Because the fight was so intense, the shadows were shaking vigorously, the resolution of the recorder was limited, making some details hard to discern.

But it can be seen that the front vehicle where Smiling Face was, stopped, and the two got off with an extremely unfriendly attitude.

And it’s undeniable that at first, Shrek made a slight finger technique motion, leading the Academy’s side to erupt in a sudden attack.

Four against two, complete domination!

What chilled the woman’s heart was that none of the three people in Shrek’s battle group used any techniques!

As a Patrol Guard, the woman had experienced quite a few battles and never thought Superpower Warriors could fight like this!

It was purely close-quarter combat, so fast that there was no opportunity to use techniques!

Shrek was not wronged at all; the middle-aged woman on the opposite side stood equal with him, and more astonishing was the Modified Warrior.

Especially when the stunning blade turned, the reaction and micro-operation were so fast that the recorder’s frame rate couldn’t capture it clearly.

The woman guessed and speculated based on the results, analyzing the opponent’s maneuver, and she knew clearly that she, as a B-level, could never do it.

Are there Modified Warriors who can kill B-level inversely? Yes, there are, even inadvertently killing A-levels.

But this guy called Panda, his real strength can indeed rival B-level.

As long as he can seize the initiative, suppress a B-level so they can’t use techniques, there’s a ninety percent chance to kill the opponent.

Learning a thing or two, the woman truly admired it in her heart; the longer she served as a Patrol Guard, the more she realized the world is full of wonders.

Besides the dashcams of the two vehicles, the guard team got the park’s surveillance footage through unknown means.

The woman could guess that Smiling Face didn’t handle these recordings, intending to destroy them afterward, but unfortunately, he miscalculated.

There was only the incident, no aftermath.
